You're Probably Playing Rocket Wrong In Marvel Rivals
Rocket Raccoon is often seen as just a simple healer in , but no one should be keeping him in this box. Focusing on his healing abilities and staying back in fights would miss the bigger picture of what he can do. While healing is important, it’s only one part of his overall skill set. Players who don't pay attention to damage numbers while attacking may not realize how powerful Rocket Raccoon is as a DPS hero. He can stack up damage quickly.
Too many players stick to the edges of the fight and forget that Rocket can deal a lot of damage and make big plays by using his unique abilities. It’s not just about healing; it’s about mixing in damage, support, and controlling space to create a strong overall strategy. Rocket is not just a mobile healer;he can stand toe-to-toe with other heroes. Like playing Mantis in , most other healers tend to focus on just healing, but a good Rocket Raccoon strategy will focus on Rocket's overall strengths.
Many players tend to see Rocket Raccoon in as just a healer. His abilities focus on keeping teammates alive with healing orbs, a beacon that gives armor and revives fallen allies, and even an ultimate ability that boosts damage but essentially helps the team survive. The way he plays adds to this view, as he appears to be throwing healing spheres instead of using powerful weapons. As a result, players often keep him back, supporting others from a distance.
This way of playing is smart for support and healing, but this view misses out on his full potential. Rocket has a primary weapon, a rapid-fire energy gun, that can deal surprising damage. Still, players often overlook it because it doesn’t seem flashy, like traditional damage-dealing characters’ weapons. The math doesn't lie;with 16 damage a round and 12 rounds per second, that's 192 DPS. Players who know how to use Rocket’s gun effectively can actually deal damage on par with dedicated attackers, especially at close quarters. This makes him a surprisingly aggressive character.
